Techniques for exposure-based suspensions of communication attempts

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may communicate via a first connection using one or more transmit parameters. The UE may determine to suspend subsequent attempts to communicate via a second connection, in a dual connection mode, based at least in part on satisfaction of a threshold number of failed attempts to communicate via the second connection. The UE may determine one or more parameters for suspension of the subsequent attempts to communicate via the second connection based at least in part on a determination that satisfaction of the threshold number of failed attempts is associated with one or more exposure conditions that are based at least in part on the one or more transmit parameters. Numerous other aspects are provided.
